Where the hell IS the bright side anyway??? (posted:6/27/08)

So I am trying to stay positive here. Therefore, I will NOT fill you in on all of the things that caused me great stress during the day today (most of which relate to…….you guessed it…..trying to get this lien removed and the whole house buying process).

Instead, I will attempt to focus on the positive things in my life at the moment……oh yes…..they ARE out there!

I am really glad that Marcus (my partner…for those of you that don’t know) now has a job where he is home at a decent hour (often before me). I can’t tell you how much I have missed him being home more. He still works full-time, but he works mostly “normal” hours now….which is great. I enjoy talking to him so much. Even when we argue, we always end up laughing. We can never stay mad at each other. He works so hard and is such a terrific guy. I am so lucky.

And then there are my boys………..Leo & Charlie.

Honestly, I don’t know what on earth I would do without them. Perhaps the thing that I love the most is the fact that they really NEED me. I won’t lie. That’s a good feeling. We all need to feel needed and wanted. We all need to feel like we are the best part about someone’s day. There is no doubt that this is the case with these two pugs. I always know by the wags in their tails and the way that they trample each other in order to be the pug that gets the next loving pat from “pop” <<— yea that’s me.

So now it’s time for me to simply STOP….slow down…..take a breather…..and know that everything will be fine and work out just the way that God has planned for it to work out. Sometimes I think I need that little reminder in a world full of stress.
